Gimme Some Truth

There has been a reoccurring theme going on as of late and there is no real rhyme or reason for it happening. This Saturday I tried to do get some answers, because it typically occurs with women, and what better source to answer these types of questions than from another woman? After asking my first few questions, I found that the problem may be more complex than I initially thought.

It seems that when you ask for some ones phone number there are a handful of scenarios that can happen.

1. You ask for the person’s number, try to call them and it is the wrong number all together. This is a clear indication that something wasn’t working out for some reason or another and it was a blow off tactic. Never to be heard from again unless you just happen to bump into this other person again; which is typically unlikely. Unless of course it is a Seinfeld episode where Elaine keeps giving out a fake number, and then she needs something from the guy who received the fake number, and has to wait for his call – all the while the people working there hold a certain resentment towards you. I have never actually heard this happening to any of my friends, but I was told that it does happen - frequently.

2. You ask for the person’s number and actually receive the right number. Great! You passed acid test number one, but that leads us this scenario which I have been privy to. Say you meet person y, seem to have a good time and ask for the digits, you receive a number, but may be skeptical of scenario 1. You wait some amount of time, days, hours, minutes, what ever and call. It is answered by voicemail, it happens for numerous reasons and I don’t so much mind leaving a message. However that message goes into the black-hole, never to be heard from again. You know you got the right number because the greeting said “hi this is person y leave a message”. One would think that they would receive a call back after leaving a message, but no not in this case. So what does that mean, they weren’t interested but actually went ahead and gave you the right number – maybe so they wouldn’t feel so bad? Or is it that they want to be called again, become the pursued and enjoy the chase. What ever case it is, it never seems to end up well.

3. Of course this is the all good scenario, they answer the phone to have a chat a bit, maybe set up something for the week end, or they return your call. Yay!

So that’s it, and any input would be at the very least interesting to read. So make sure and post your reply – thanks.
